@TownsUsa It's altitude. Primary Findings Service members stationed at high altitude had a 41% (95% confidence interval [CI] 35%–46%; p<0.001) lower hazard rate of obesity as compared to those stationed at low altitude... https://t.co/ePp4bq6sqf

The higher the altitude you live in, the less likely you are to become obese (regardless of diet and exersize). Over a 7 year study, those living in high altitude climates had a 41-46% lower hazard rate of obesity. Time to move to the mountains! https:/
